Well - I experimented and decided to buy an expensive shirt. The color helped me make this decision - moss green is absolutely top-notch - just beautiful. Additionally, the texture of the shirt combined with this color makes an amazing impression. First impressions? The material is relatively thick and "meaty." It almost feels like flannel, which naturally made me worry about getting too warm and sweating in the office. But here I was pleasantly surprised - the material really does its job. The shirt doesn't overheat the body but nicely regulates temperature and "pushes" excess heat away from the body. I also have the impression that the cuffs are somewhat larger in circumference, which makes it easier to hide a smartwatch under the cuff compared to, for example, the Defender Mk2. The shirt is expensive - no sense denying it - but it is absolutely worth its price. The material gives a very positive impression, it's clear it is well-made, so it's a purchase for years. And that amazing moss green… I definitely recommend it to anyone who is undecided!
